2.0Task group report: Task Group Needs From NMC

MTL – Keith Kastner reported that MTL met with other task groups to discuss the use of MTL requirements in other task group checklists. MTL plans to generate a proposal, using a sub committee for the process of integrating the requirements of various task group testing requirements and then approach each task group with proposal on how to proceed.MTL will need input from each TG regarding its needs from MTL.The group plans to review individual testing requirements against existing slash sheets and auditor capability and prepare a matrix of existing slash sheet with the goal of integrating MTL as a resource.A note was made that PRI will offer a staff member as a resource to this team.

HT – The task group has a discussion on rounds of responses on initials vs reaccreditations and the goal to lessen the amount of round to drive cycle time down. The task group asked what PRI is doing in regards to baseline. The task group would like to see audits be conducted by expiration date and not by quarter. The task group also asked that the Planning and Operations meeting go back to a working meeting and not a report out.

ACTION ITEM: Arne Logan to include in baseline summary what PRI and NMC are doing to prepare for the implementation of baseline.

ACTION ITEM: NMC to re-look at Planning and Operations meetings to determine if they can be restructured into a best practices meeting rather than a report out session.
